An extremely disturbing video has gone viral online. And MTO News has learned that the video purports to show a male inmate being brutally r*ped inside the Riverside County jail.
The video was taken by another inmate, who secretly taped the alleged attack. In the video, a male inmate is seen laying face down – with his Orange jumpsuit pulled down below his knees.
Another inmate is laying on top of him, and appears to be forcibly raping the inmate.
The video was posted on IG with a caption that suggests that the man being raped was a member of a rival gang.

MTO News reached out to the Riverside County jail for comment on the video and so far, we have not been given a response.
